Democrats and their moronic DEI arguments are a constant reminder of how true this is. We not only have a competency crisis, we have a stupid crisis as we watch Democrats act like angry, spoiled little children in these Senate confirmation hearings.
It is also illustrated every day on this forum by brainless leftist asshats and their lie filed moronic claims, arguments and trolling.
The competency crisis is among us
In 2019, the Los Angeles Fire Department’s current deputy chief appeared in a promotional video for a television drama about firefighters.
In the video, deputy chief Kristine Larson, who is both black and lesbian, extolled the virtues of inclusivity and diversity while bemoaning that a traditionally male space is not immediately accommodating to women.
“The reality is: you’re not one of the boys,” said Larson, who, between total pay and benefits, pulled in a cool $447,979 in 2023. “You never will be one of the boys, but you can be a good firefighter.”
She added, “You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it’s a medical call or a fire call, that looks like you. It gives that person a little bit more ease, knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.”
Larson, who answers to LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, a white lesbian who made $654,951 in total pay and benefits in 2023, then said of those who doubt a woman’s ability to serve as an effective firefighter, “‘Is she strong enough to do this?’ Or, ‘You couldn’t carry my husband out of a fire.’”
“Which my response is,” she added in the 2019 promotional video, “he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.”
A series of deadly wildfires would later consume large areas of Los Angeles, destroying entire communities and revealing a city and state that are as corrupt and mismanaged as they are incompetent.

The California wildfires and the New Orleans terrorist attack are the deadly consequences of the crisis of competency we face.
